I think my simplest solution IS to use a CCU, hense my original question. The reason I asked the question is because I don't fully understand what implications the 45A has. As long as it's safe to use a CCU to switch the water feature on then I'm done. I can label the switch to ensure...

I thought I could only have one spur from the existing socket?

It's a ring mains The very thick cable is armoured cable and will eventually power a water feature. The other end of the armoured cable has a waterproof socket on the end of it. The other cable which will be low voltage will power low voltage lights. The existing socket is connected...

It's not 2 circuits (at least not to my understanding) I could have a double socket and plug both wires into this, but one of the cables is very thick and as it will not need to be removed I'd prefer it to be perminently connected and controlled via a switch. As for the other, I want to...

It's in the garage. I want to connect one cable to the switch and the other to the plug.
